Details
Château Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1990
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Both lots in original wooden cases. Lot 219 with damaged lid
"The Lafite was still fairly deep, plummy coloured but maturing; bouquet evolving well; soft, fleshy, good length; complete - all that was needed was time, more bottle age. Its unreadiness for drinking was demonstrated at a Lafite dinner with Eric de Rothschild at Brooks's in London. The roast grey partridge was unable to compete. Nevertheless, the penetratingly lovely bouquet and flavour were appreciated. Strange though how a wine so beguiling and easy in its youth can close up. Its second wind eagerly awaited. Last noted Nov 2000 ***(**) 2015-2040?" MB, Vintage Wine
